In a forthcoming book I Alone Can Fix It, Donald Trump told the authors that he would have had victorious, reelection fight if he were facing a modern day ticket of a Founding Father and arguably the greatest president of all time, the Guardian reports.
“I think it would be hard if George Washington came back from the dead and he chose Abraham Lincoln as his vice-president, I think it would have been very hard for them to beat me,” Trump said in an interview with Washington Post writers Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker. The interview, which happened at Mar-a-Lago after Biden’s inauguration, shows that Trump thought the only thing that took down his campaign was the coronavirus pandemic, something he continues to claim–besides election fraud. Reportedly, Trump sat down with the book authors for a two-and-a-half hour interview because he felt the pairs’ first book on him, A Very Stable Genius, was unfair to him and he wanted to have some input into the follow-up.
Of course, Trump lost reelection to Democrat Joe Biden, a former Senator and Vice President who beat Trump by nearly eight million votes and a landslide in the Electoral College.
